Chapter 294: Playing Games, She is Also Professional
The next day.
"Emily, I'm here to pick you up and show you around."
Kaia rarely got up this early or was this enthusiastic, so she came straight to find Emily.
Fortunately, Emily wasn't someone who liked to sleep in and was already up.
However, Kaia came in so energetically that Matilda, who didn't know her, actually stopped her.
For someone of Kaia's status, her family would naturally assign bodyguards for safety.
Growing up around such things, she could easily tell that this person knew combat skills.
She already knew yesterday that Emily was just the daughter of a small family in Silverlight City, and an unfavored one at that.
So this person probably wasn't assigned by the Johnson family.
It must be Daniel who arranged protection for Emily.
This showed how much he cared about her.
Kaia nodded with satisfaction, "Daniel must really, really like you. Otherwise, how could he pay attention to such details and arrange someone to protect you?"
Emily didn't explain what the circumstances were at the time that made Daniel so worried that he arranged someone to stay by her side.
Emily asked Kaia to wait, "Let me get ready, then I'll go out with you."
"No rush, beautiful ladies have the privilege of making people wait."
Kaia said with a smile.
Emily knew she was joking, but still laughed.
"Okay!"
"That's more like it!"
Kaia nodded with satisfaction.
Just now when Emily smiled, she finally showed a bit of youthful liveliness.
Knowing about Emily's past, Kaia felt very sorry for her. No wonder Emily was usually more mature and steady.
It was completely because she had no one to rely on and had to grow up too fast to protect herself.
Originally, she wanted to ask some questions about design and even take her to see her studio.
But she changed her mind at the last minute and took Emily shopping instead.
With such a beautiful face, Emily shouldn't waste it. She should dress up while she's young, to please herself and others.
Emily was actually thinking along the same lines as Kaia.
But then Kaia dragged her to the mall, and as soon as they went in, she started holding up various clothes against Emily.
"You really are a beauty, and with such a good figure too. Any clothes look good on you. Besides these few outfits, I'll take all of these, and these too."
Emily quickly stopped Kaia, "No need, I'm only staying in Emerald City for two days before going back. I can't possibly ship all these back. Just this one dress, I'll take it. If you really want to give me something, next time when you come to Silverlight City, you can help me pick something then. How about that?"
This was also an indirect invitation, wanting to stay in touch with Kaia in the future.
Kaia was naturally happy to be invited by Emily, "Sure, it's a deal then."
She had someone help Emily change into that dress.
Emily actually didn't really want to move around, since she had an injury.
But seeing Kaia's bright eyes looking at her so expectantly, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
She was actually glad now that she only wanted one dress. Otherwise, if Kaia had a sudden impulse and really made her try on everything, and then she mentioned having an injury, it would seem like she was making excuses.
When Emily came out in that red long dress with a mermaid tail design at the bottom, moving gracefully with each step.
Kaia exclaimed, "I knew it would be beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be this beautiful. Your figure is already perfect, and with that face, it's just stunning."
Kaia suddenly had an idea and made a bold decision.
She was about to speak.
But her phone suddenly rang.
Kaia could only give Emily an apologetic look and answer the call first.
"What's going on?"
Kaia asked.
The voice on the other end sounded anxious, "Kaia, emergency help needed! I lost a game, and this affects my future streaming. You're good at this, it's best two out of three. Can you play for me?"
Kaia knew the other person's gaming level - just slightly worse than hers. Why was she so anxious now?
"Tell me, what's the situation?"
"Since last night, someone with the username WarGod has been challenging all the gaming bloggers. Several skilled ones have already lost to him. He has high popularity and is so arrogant. We can't stand it, but he does have some real skills."
Kaia, hearing this, disliked arrogant people the most.
"This can't be tolerated. Did he make bets with you guys in advance?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I got it. I'll find an internet cafe in a bit and have a match with him."
Kaia immediately agreed.
Hearing her agreement, the other side breathed a sigh of relief, then replied, "This person seems like a professional, really has some skills. I'll send you the live stream recording of our match. Take a look first and see if it'll be difficult."
Kaia thought this was a good idea too.
Know yourself and your enemy, after all.
But...
She looked up and saw Emily standing not far away, looking apologetic and troubled.
Seeing Kaia's troubled expression, Emily knew she must have something to do.
"If you have something to do, don't worry about me. Go ahead and take care of it. I'll just take a cab back."
Emily wasn't upset or bothered at all.
But Kaia shook her head, "No way, I promised Gilbert and Daniel that I'd take good care of you. I'm not comfortable with you going alone. How about this - come with me to a nearby internet cafe. It won't take much time. You can just rest nearby. How's that?"
"I'm fine with that. But going to an internet cafe, what's this about? If you need help, maybe I can help!"
Since Emily dared to say this, she naturally had some confidence.
When it came to anything computer-related, there really wasn't anything that could stump her.
Kaia thought about it and told Emily the truth.
Hearing the username "WarGod," Emily was momentarily stunned.
If she remembered correctly, this seemed to be Finn's username.
However, in her previous life, because of her help, he developed very well. This was like his alternate account. When he was in a good mood, he'd occasionally go online and play games with people. Because of his skills and low-key personality, he gradually became known among many gaming friends.
Later, when it was revealed that "WarGod" was actually champion Finn, his fan base grew enormously.
Emily said nothing.
Not until they got to the internet cafe, where Kaia booked a private room.
While Kaia was watching videos of Finn's matches against other gaming bloggers, Emily also came over to watch.
In this life, without Emily's guidance, Finn's skills were much worse than in the previous life.
However, compared to those bloggers, he was still much better.
Emily looked at Kaia, "You're going to compete with this 'WarGod.' After watching the video, are you confident?"
Kaia saw that Emily seemed to know something about gaming too.
She thought for a moment and said, "I won't know until I play, but his moves are really impressive. I'm not necessarily confident either."
Emily thought for a moment, "Do you have videos of your previous game competitions? Let me take a look and see if you have a chance of winning."
Kaia didn't find anything wrong with what she said. Instead, she felt that Emily was really nice, thinking of her and helping her evaluate.
She didn't even doubt that Emily might be a complete novice.
Kaia quickly found a video of herself playing a game not long ago with good performance.
As Emily watched, her brow furrowed.
Seeing her expression, Kaia's heart sank, "What? You don't think it's good? Do I have a chance of winning?"
Emily looked up to meet Kaia's curious expression, "I'll be honest, I hope you won't mind."
"You're doing this for my good. I'm not so ungrateful. Besides, letting me know in advance is good, right? At least I won't fail to help my friend get revenge and lose face instead."
Kaia waved her hand, being very understanding.
Emily liked her personality and nodded.
